Jackson lakes lowered

Written by
Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Boating at Tanasee Creek and Wolf Creek lakes will be reduced while Duke Energy repairs a hydroelectric generator below the two lakes.

Both lakes are 18.5 feet below full, rendering the boat ramp at Wolf Lake useless. The current schedule calls for the lakes to begin filling up in mid-November and the generator to be back in operation by mid-December.

Lake levels can be found at  http://www.duke-energy.com/lakes/nantahala/nantahala-lake-levels.asp or calling 800.829.5253, ext. 5.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
